Find a local mom and pop transmission shop and take it to them. They can normally drive it and give you an idea of what's wrong and cost to fix. I see some answer with no clue. As transmissions have not had modulator valves for 25 yrs.

Check fluid level, smell it to see if it smells burnt. Look if the shift linkage is bent from when you hit the debris on the highway. Change the filter. Change the modulator valve.
